Metallica

In November 2018, when Metallica graced the stage at the Masonic Auditorium in San Francisco for the All Within My Hands Foundation Helping Hands Concert, the band was riding the wave of their 2016 album, *Hardwired... to Self-Destruct*. This marked a triumphant return for the group, as it was their first studio album in eight years—quite a significant gap considering their fervent fanbase always craves more heavy riffs and profound lyrics. The concert itself was a special occasion, not just for the music, but for its charitable intent, raising funds to support workforce education. It's interesting to note that this event wasn’t just about the band playing their classic hits; it also featured additional musicians like Avi Vinocur on mandolin and guitar, bringing a fresh twist to their iconic sound. This melding of talents illustrates how Metallica continues to innovate while honoring their roots, making the live performance a memorable fusion of collaboration and community spirit.
